Most javascript engines are JIT-based and that's hard to make safe, you'd need a complete proof that the emitted assembly is correct. It's similar to the problem of proving correctness for any compiler.

Oh, I've used such tests on other JIT based languages, as well as non-JIT. None made valgrind show quite so much show. I'm not sure I've ever seen less "memory safe" code bases.
